N.Z. TOBACCO
A TRIAL SHIPMENT. United Press Association—By Electric j Telegraph.—Copyright.] LONDON, Nov. 16. A London firm of tobacco mqrchatits has imported forty bales of New Zealand pipe tobacco in order to test the market. \ warning is issued, however, that if tliis small shipment is successful, it does not follow that the market can absorb larger quantities. This warning is founded on the experience of the Rhodesian tobaccos, thousands of tons of which are now in Britain, all of it being unmarketable. It is not a question of quality, or of whether it is equal to, or better than, the American tobacco. It is a matter of a different taste to vn.cli the public must be educated. Many of the Englishmen who wont to Africa to grow tobacco in Rhodesia and Nyassa are now glad to drive trams.
